If there is one thing I love more in this world than chicken nuggets and Henry Cavill, it's gotta be jewellery. There's just something so elevating to an outfit about jewellery; it's like the cherry on top of a cake. You could be wearing a totally boring, all-black outfit that makes you look like a… Continue reading Everyday Jewellery Collection

Practising Positive Pessimism
(try saying that five times, fast) Unsplash: Austin Chan I know what you're thinking. "Positive pessimism? That doesn't make sense! What is this girl on?" Well, bare with me and I'll explain, alright? I guess "realist" is probably the most familiar term when describing this outlook, but "positive pessimism" does differ slightly. In case ya… Continue reading Practising Positive Pessimism

Lockdown Purchase Rundown
I remember at the very beginning of lockdown when everyone was talking about how much money we would all save since all the shops were shut and we couldn't go out to eat all the time. HA! LIES! Because I've had some extra cash lying around, I have been a little spend-happy (when am I… Continue reading Lockdown Purchase Rundown
My YouTubers, Now Your YouTubers?
I think it's safe to say that I watch more YouTube than any other media - more than the telly, more than Netflix. I like how accessible it feels, I like that the content tends to be shorter than a TV show or movie, and I feel like I don't need to give it my… Continue reading My YouTubers, Now Your YouTubers?
Chocolate Chunk Cookies Chunkier Than Me
"Isn't she not a thing of beauty? Don't you just want to not eat her so you can just sit and admire her? She does look as good as she tastes..." Ok, enough objectifying the cookie. She's cute, we get it. But, seriously, look how cute she is. I can't believe I was actually able… Continue reading Chocolate Chunk Cookies Chunkier Than Me
How to Style: The Tan Blazer
I love a good blazer, don't you? They can level up any outfit, turning jeans and a t-shirt into a smart-casual work outfit, or a simple LBD into a staple date night look. I feel very powerful and present when I wear my blazer, which feeds into my weird association between blazers and "being an… Continue reading How to Style: The Tan Blazer
Mellow Playlist
I've found that music is essential to the human experience. Every emotion, every thought, every experience can be condensed into pauses and chords and melodies. This is a playlist best listened to in bed, wrapped up and warm in soft blankets, in the dark, with rain hitting the window outside, and no distractions. Just for… Continue reading Mellow Playlist

This list is made of all the products I've used for years, that I will probably never turn my back on… Continue reading My Holy Grail Beauty Products
How to Style: The Leopard Print Midi Skirt
Aaaah, leopard print. The print I swore years and years ago when I was wee and naïve that I'd never wear because I thought it looked "trashy" whenever I saw Kat from Eastenders wearing it, or "cheap" even though I saw rich, snobby ladies in movies wearing leopard print coats. Then I saw Helen Anderson's… Continue reading How to Style: The Leopard Print Midi Skirt
